Developers target Jersey City’s West Side with $20M purchase

JERSEY CITY — Puccini’s Restaurant, the famed Italian eatery and catering hall on the city’s West Side, sold earlier this month along with six adjacent parcels for $19.5 million, The Jersey Journal has learned.

The purchase, by Amerestate Holdings, indicates that the housing boom in Journal Square, which has been pushing real-estate prices up by double digit percentages in the heart of the city, is pushing further west.
